Have you ever thought of dropping your wallet or throwing it in guys face then drawing and shooting?

Once the money comes into view, the BG is very likely to stop concentrating on you. Creating some kind of distraction (like a wallet to the face) may just give you enough time to get of the X and draw pretty quick.

It's very difficult to explain over the internet, so, sorry if that is unclear.

Massad Ayoob,in one of his books wrote about carrying as part of his EDC while in the Urban Jungle,a variation of a "Chicago Bankroll"that could be thrown to the ground if accosted by muggers.A Chicago Bankroll is a roll of $1 bills with a $50 or 100 bill on the outside wrapped in a rubber band.A $5 or $10 bill will work just as well if stacked properly so it cant be made out easily.I believe Ayoobs version had a few business cards in the middle with a few $1 bills wrapped around.I made up my own version that had some phony credit cards,sent to me as promotions from dodgy CC companies,with a $1 bill wrapped with a rubber band.I have never had to use this "flash roll"and I don't really know where it is right now.

There is a lot of ifs and such with that topic and these. They have been cleared by the ATF, except in CA. Mostly because most of the slide is shown through, it is not considered part of the AOW rulings. As it is still clearly a firearm.

Looks like because it exposes the entire slide, the ATF has approved yours as not concealing the firearm.

But the many ones that used to be readily available that did conceal the slide or entire handgun are still classified as AOW.

Carry on!

Other than that the biggest gripe is the exposed trigger. Honestly the trigger is pretty hard to get to when it is in this holster. However, wit a bit of practice you get the hang of firing it, and knowing where to put your fingers as you grab for it.

I imagine in time this holster and others like it will have the same fate. But as is, the holster, per ATF, does not hide the weapon like the images above where the weapon is 100% hidden minus the trigger, making the wallet a gun. It has enough of the pistol showing to get away with it per ATF.

Same goes for brief case guns. If you own a brief case capable of firing a gun from with in it, you must register that gun as an AOW to use the brief case device

If you were to own one of the above holsters that you posted and use your pistol in it, you would have to register the pistol, not the holster as an AOW. Which is 5 dollars and a 6 month wait. After that you can no longer carry it I believe, because most CCW laws state that you can conceal pistols, where as your pistol is now registered as a AOW. But I do not know much on that one so if someone else does please chime in.
